Fig. 3-1 is a method flowchart illustrating a home device control method according to another exemplary embodiment. In this embodiment, the home device control method is exemplified by being applied to a system composed of the wearable device 120, the target home device 160, and the target home device 180 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1, and referring to fig. 3-1, the flow of the method may include the following steps:

in step 301, the wearable device acquires physiological data of the user.

In this embodiment, the household device control method may be mainly executed by the wearable device 120 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1. The wearable device can acquire physiological data of the user through contact with the user. That is, when the user wears the wearable device, the wearable device can acquire the physiological data of the user.

The physiological data may include, among others: the exercise frequency, the heartbeat frequency, the brain wave parameter, and the like of the user in a predetermined time period are not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. A plurality of sensors can be arranged in the wearable device, and the wearable device collects physiological data of a user through the sensors.

For example, if the physiological data is a motion frequency of the user within a predetermined time period, an acceleration sensor or a shock sensor may be provided in the wearable device, and the wearable device may acquire the motion frequency of the user within the predetermined time period through the acceleration sensor or the shock sensor, where the predetermined time period may be set according to practical situations, which is not limited in this disclosure, for example, the predetermined time period may be 20 minutes, and the wearable device may acquire the motion frequency of the user within 20 minutes through the acceleration sensor or the shock sensor.

For example, if the physiological data is a heartbeat frequency of the user, a heart rate sensor may be disposed in the wearable device, and the wearable device may acquire the heartbeat frequency of the user through the heart rate sensor.

For example, if the physiological data is brain wave parameters of the user, a brain wave sensor may be disposed in the wearable device, and the wearable device may acquire the brain wave parameters of the user through the brain wave sensor.

In step 302, the wearable device determines a physiological state of the user from the physiological data.

After the wearable device acquires the physiological data of the user, the physiological state of the user can be determined according to the physiological data of the user. The physiological state may be a sleep state or an awake state, which is not limited in this disclosure. The embodiments of the present disclosure take the physiological state as the sleep state as an example. Since the physiological data may include: the movement frequency, the heartbeat frequency, the brain wave parameter, and the like of the user within a predetermined period of time, and therefore, the wearable device can determine the physiological state of the user from any one of the movement frequency, the heartbeat frequency, the brain wave parameter, and the like of the user within a predetermined period of time.

For example, if the physiological data is a motion frequency of the user within a predetermined time period, the wearable device may determine the physiological state of the user according to the motion frequency of the user within the predetermined time period. Since the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is reduced when the wearable device is in the sleep state, the wearable device may determine whether the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is less than the predetermined motion frequency, determine that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state if the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is less than the predetermined motion frequency, and determine that the physiological state of the user is the awake state if the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the predetermined motion frequency. The value of the predetermined movement frequency may be set according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, if the physiological data is a heartbeat frequency, the wearable device may determine the physiological state of the user according to the heartbeat frequency of the user. Because the heartbeat frequency of the user is reduced when the wearable device is in the sleep state, the wearable device may determine whether the heartbeat frequency of the user is less than a predetermined heartbeat frequency, if the heartbeat frequency of the user is less than the predetermined heartbeat frequency, the wearable device determines that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state, and if the heartbeat frequency of the user is greater than or equal to the predetermined heartbeat frequency, the wearable device determines that the physiological state of the user is the awake state, where a value of the predetermined heartbeat frequency may be set according to an actual situation, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, if the physiological data is brain wave parameters, the wearable device may determine the physiological state of the user according to the brain wave parameters of the user. When the wearable device is in the sleep state, the brain waves of the user are different from the brain waves in the waking state, so that the wearable device can judge whether the brain waves of the user are sleep brain waves or not according to the brain wave parameters of the user, if the brain waves of the user are the sleep brain waves, the wearable device determines that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state, and if the brain waves of the user are not the sleep brain waves, the wearable device determines that the physiological state of the user is the waking state. The sleep brain waves may include: any one of the θ waves and the waves, therefore, the wearable device can determine whether the brain waves of the user are the θ waves or the waves according to the brain wave parameters of the user, and if the brain waves of the user are the θ waves or the waves, the wearable device determines that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state.

In step 303, the wearable device controls the plurality of target home devices to operate according to the corresponding operation instructions according to the physiological state.

After the wearable device determines the physiological state of the user, the wearable device can control the plurality of target home devices to operate according to the corresponding operating instructions according to the physiological state of the user. The multiple target home devices include at least two target home devices, and the embodiments of the present disclosure take the multiple target home devices as two target home devices, and take the two target home devices as the target home device 160 and the target home device 180 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1, respectively, for example.

The wearable device can control a part of target household devices to adjust the operating parameters of at least a part of functions, and control another part of target household devices to adjust the operating parameters of at least a part of functions. The target household devices may include fans, and the target household devices may include air conditioners.

Referring to fig. 3-2, which is a schematic diagram illustrating that the wearable device in the embodiment shown in fig. 3-1 controls a plurality of target home devices to operate according to corresponding operation instructions according to physiological states, referring to fig. 3-2, the wearable device controls the electric fan 180 to adjust operation parameters of at least a portion of functions, and controls the air conditioner 160 to adjust operation parameters of at least a portion of functions.

The wearable device can control the electric fan to adjust the operating parameters of at least a part of functions according to the physiological state of the user. For example, the wearable device controls the gear of the electric fan according to the physiological state of the user, so that the electric fan rotates according to the rotating speed of the corresponding gear; the wearable device controls the air conditioner to adjust the operation parameters of at least a part of functions according to the physiological state of the user, for example, the wearable device controls the air conditioner to adjust the mode of the air conditioner to a sleep mode according to the physiological state of the user, or the wearable device controls the air conditioner to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner to a preset temperature according to the physiological state of the user.

Further, when all functions of the target home devices are turned off, so that the wearable device can control one part of the target home devices to be turned off and control another part of the target home devices to be turned on according to the physiological state of the user.

Referring to fig. 3-3, which is a schematic diagram illustrating operation parameters of the adjustment function of the wearable device control target household device provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 3-2, referring to fig. 3-3, the wearable device controls the fan 180 to be turned off and controls the air conditioner 160 to be turned on.

Further, when all functions of the target home devices are turned off, so that the wearable device can control one part of the target home devices to be turned on and control another part of the target home devices to be turned off according to the physiological state of the user.

Referring to fig. 3-4, which are schematic diagrams illustrating operation parameters of the adjustment function of the wearable device control target household device provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 3-1, referring to fig. 3-4, the wearable device controls the fan 180 to be turned on and controls the air conditioner 160 to be turned off.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the wearable device controls the multiple target home devices to operate according to the corresponding operation instructions according to the physiological state of the user, the wearable device may perform the method shown in fig. 3 to 5 or the method illustrated in fig. 3 to 6.

For example, referring to fig. 3-5, which are flowcharts illustrating a method for the wearable device to control a plurality of target home devices to operate according to corresponding operation instructions according to a physiological state according to the embodiment shown in fig. 3-1, referring to fig. 3-5, the method may include:

in sub-step 3031, the wearable device generates operating instructions according to the physiological state.

The wearable device can generate an operation instruction according to the physiological state of the user. The operation instruction is an operation instruction corresponding to each target home device, and the operation instruction corresponding to each target home device may be the same or different, which is not limited in this disclosure.

For example, the wearable device may generate operation instructions corresponding to a fan and an air conditioner. For example, if the physiological state of the user is a sleep state, the operation instruction corresponding to the electric fan generated by the wearable device may be a start instruction or a gear adjustment instruction, where the gear adjustment instruction may carry a target gear, so that the electric fan adjusts the gear of the electric fan to the target gear according to the gear adjustment instruction and rotates according to a rotation speed corresponding to the target gear; the operation instruction corresponding to the air conditioner generated by the wearable device may be a closing instruction or a mode adjusting instruction, where the mode adjusting instruction may carry a target mode, and the target mode may be a sleep mode, so that the air conditioner adjusts the state of the air conditioner to the target mode according to the state gear adjusting instruction and operates according to a parameter corresponding to the target mode.

In sub-step 3032, the wearable device sends the operation instruction to the target home devices to control the target home devices to operate according to the corresponding operation instruction.

After the wearable device generates the operation instruction, the operation instruction can be sent to the target home devices, so that the target home devices operate according to the corresponding operation instruction, and the wearable device controls the target home devices.

For example, the wearable device may send respective operating instructions to each of the plurality of target home devices. For example, if the physiological state of the user is a sleep state, the wearable device may send a start instruction or a gear adjustment instruction to the electric fan, after the electric fan receives the start instruction or the gear adjustment instruction sent by the wearable device, the electric fan may be started according to the start instruction, or the gear of the electric fan may be adjusted to a target gear according to the gear adjustment instruction, and the electric fan is rotated according to a rotating speed corresponding to the target gear, so that the wearable device controls the electric fan; the wearable device can send a closing instruction or a mode adjusting instruction to the air conditioner, after the air conditioner receives the closing instruction or the mode adjusting instruction sent by the wearable device, the air conditioner can be closed according to the closing instruction, or the state of the air conditioner is adjusted to a target mode according to the mode adjusting instruction, and the wearable device controls the air conditioner.

The wearable device can also broadcast information containing the physiological state, so that the plurality of target home devices can acquire the operation instruction corresponding to the physiological state and operate according to the operation instruction. For example, referring to fig. 3 to 6, which are schematic diagrams illustrating that the wearable device controls a plurality of target home devices to operate according to corresponding operation instructions according to a physiological state according to the embodiment shown in fig. 3 to 1, referring to fig. 3 to 6, the wearable device may broadcast information including the physiological state to all home devices in a space where a user is located, where the all home devices may include target home devices (e.g., air conditioners and fans) or may include non-target home devices (e.g., washing machines, etc., which are not shown in fig. 3 to 6), and after receiving the information including the physiological state broadcast by the wearable device, the plurality of target home devices may obtain an operation instruction corresponding to themselves according to the physiological state in the information and operate according to the operation instruction.

Each target home equipment can store the corresponding relation between the physiological state and the operation instruction, and the target home equipment can query the corresponding relation between the physiological state and the operation instruction according to the physiological state of the user to determine the operation instruction corresponding to the physiological state of the user and then operate according to the operation instruction.

For example, the correspondence relationship between the physiological state stored by the air conditioner and the operation instruction can be as shown in the following table 1:

TABLE 1

Physiological state	Operation instruction
		Sleep state	Close command
Waking state	Open command

If the information received by the air conditioner includes the sleep state, the air conditioner may determine that the operation instruction corresponding to the sleep state is the shutdown instruction according to the sleep state lookup table 1, and therefore, the air conditioner acquires the shutdown instruction and shuts down according to the shutdown instruction.

For example, the correspondence between the physiological state stored in the fan and the operation instruction may be as shown in table 2 below:

TABLE 2

Physiological state	Operation instruction
		Sleep state	Open command
Waking state	Close command

If the information received by the electric fan includes the sleep state, the electric fan can determine the operation instruction corresponding to the sleep state as the start instruction according to the sleep state look-up table 2, and therefore, the electric fan acquires the start instruction and is started according to the start instruction.

It should be noted that, the sequence of the steps of the household equipment control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be appropriately adjusted, and the steps may also be increased or decreased according to the circumstances, and any method that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention, and therefore, no further description is given.

Fig. 4-1 is a method flowchart illustrating a home device control method according to yet another exemplary embodiment. In this embodiment, the home device control method is exemplified by being applied to a system composed of the wearable device 120, the server 140, the target home device 160, and the target home device 180 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1, and referring to fig. 4-1, the flow of the method may include the following steps:

in step 401, the server obtains physiological data of the user.

In this embodiment, the home device control method may be mainly executed by the server 140 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1. The server can acquire the physiological data of the user by receiving the physiological data of the user sent by the wearable device. Wherein the wearable device acquires the physiological data of the user through contact with the user. When the user wears the wearable device, the wearable device can acquire the physiological data of the user, and then the wearable device can send the physiological data of the user to the server.

The physiological data may include, among others: the exercise frequency, the heartbeat frequency, the brain wave parameter, and the like of the user in a predetermined time period are not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, reference may be made to step 301 in the embodiment shown in fig. 3-1 for a process of acquiring the physiological data of the user by the wearable device, and details of this embodiment are not further described herein.

In step 402, the server determines a physiological state of the user from the physiological data.

After the server acquires the physiological data of the user, the physiological state of the user can be determined according to the physiological data of the user. The physiological state may be a sleep state or an awake state, which is not limited in this disclosure. The embodiments of the present disclosure take the physiological state as the sleep state as an example. Since the physiological data may include: the exercise frequency, the heartbeat frequency, the brain wave parameter, and the like of the user within a predetermined period of time, and thus the server may determine the physiological state of the user according to any one of the exercise frequency, the heartbeat frequency, the brain wave parameter, and the like of the user within a predetermined period of time.

For example, if the physiological data is a movement frequency of the user within a predetermined time period, the server may determine the physiological state of the user according to the movement frequency of the user within the predetermined time period. Because the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is reduced when the user is in the sleep state, the server may determine whether the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is less than the predetermined motion frequency, determine that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state if the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is less than the predetermined motion frequency, and determine that the physiological state of the user is the awake state if the motion frequency of the user in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the predetermined motion frequency. The value of the predetermined movement frequency may be set according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, if the physiological data is a heartbeat frequency, the server may determine the physiological state of the user according to the heartbeat frequency of the user. Because the heartbeat frequency of the user is reduced when the user is in the sleep state, the server may determine whether the heartbeat frequency of the user is less than a predetermined heartbeat frequency, if the heartbeat frequency of the user is less than the predetermined heartbeat frequency, the server determines that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state, and if the heartbeat frequency of the user is greater than or equal to the predetermined heartbeat frequency, the server determines that the physiological state of the user is the awake state, where a value of the predetermined heartbeat frequency may be set according to an actual situation, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, if the physiological data is brain wave parameters, the server may determine the physiological state of the user according to the brain wave parameters of the user. When the brain wave of the user is in the sleep state, the brain wave parameters of the user are different from those of the waking state, so that the server can judge whether the brain wave of the user is a sleep brain wave or not according to the brain wave parameters of the user, determine that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state if the brain wave of the user is the sleep brain wave, and determine that the physiological state of the user is the waking state if the brain wave of the user is not the sleep brain wave. The sleep brain waves may include: therefore, the server can judge whether the brain wave of the user is the theta wave or the wave according to the brain wave parameter of the user, and if the brain wave of the user is the theta wave or the wave, the server determines that the physiological state of the user is the sleep state.

In step 403, the server controls the plurality of target home devices to operate according to the corresponding operating instructions according to the physiological status.

After the server determines the physiological state of the user, the server can control the plurality of target household devices to operate according to the corresponding operation instructions according to the physiological state of the user. The multiple target home devices include at least two target home devices, and the embodiments of the present disclosure take the multiple target home devices as two target home devices, and take the two target home devices as the target home device 160 and the target home device 180 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1, respectively, for example.

The server may control a part of the target home devices to adjust the operating parameters of at least a part of the functions, and control another part of the target home devices to adjust the operating parameters of at least a part of the functions. The target household equipment comprises a fan, and the target household equipment comprises an air conditioner. For example, the server controls the gear of the electric fan according to the physiological state of the user, so that the electric fan rotates according to the rotating speed of the corresponding gear, the server controls the air conditioner to adjust the mode of the air conditioner to the sleep mode according to the physiological state of the user, or the server controls the air conditioner to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner to the preset temperature according to the physiological state of the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure.

Further, the server may control a part of the target home devices to be turned off and another part of the target home devices to be turned on according to the physiological state of the user, for example, if the physiological state of the user is a waking state, the server may control the fan to be turned off and the air conditioner to be turned on. It should be noted that, the turning off of a part of target home devices means that all functions of the part of target home devices are turned off.

Furthermore, the server may control a part of the target household devices to be turned on and another part of the target household devices to be turned off according to the physiological state of the user, for example, if the physiological state of the user is a sleep state, the server may control the fan to be turned on and the air conditioner to be turned off. It should be noted that, the turning off of a part of target home devices means that all functions of the part of target home devices are turned off.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the server may execute the method shown in fig. 4-2 when the server controls the multiple target home devices to operate according to the corresponding operation instructions according to the physiological state of the user.

For example, referring to fig. 4-2, it is shown a flowchart of a method for a server to control a plurality of target home devices to operate according to corresponding operation instructions according to a physiological state, according to the embodiment shown in fig. 4-1, and referring to fig. 4-2, the method may include:

in sub-step 4031, the server generates operating instructions based on the physiological state.

The server can generate the operation instruction according to the physiological state of the user. The operation instruction is an operation instruction corresponding to each target home device, and the operation instruction corresponding to each target home device may be the same or different, which is not limited in this disclosure.

For example, the server may generate operating instructions corresponding to fans and air conditioners. For example, if the physiological state of the user is a sleep state, the operating instruction corresponding to the electric fan generated by the server may be a start instruction or a gear adjusting instruction, where the gear adjusting instruction may carry a target gear, so that the electric fan adjusts the gear of the electric fan to the target gear according to the gear adjusting instruction and rotates according to a rotating speed corresponding to the target gear; the operation instruction corresponding to the air conditioner generated by the server may be a closing instruction or a mode adjusting instruction, wherein the mode adjusting instruction may carry a target mode, and the target mode may be a sleep mode, so that the air conditioner adjusts the state of the air conditioner to the target mode according to the state gear adjusting instruction and operates according to parameters corresponding to the target mode.

In the sub-step 4032, the server controls the multiple target home devices to operate according to the corresponding operation instructions by sending the operation instructions to the multiple target home devices.

After the server generates the operation instruction, the operation instruction can be sent to the target home devices, so that the target home devices operate according to the corresponding operation instruction, and the server controls the target home devices.

For example, the server may send a respective operating instruction to each of the plurality of target home devices. For example, if the physiological state of the user is a sleep state, the server may send a start instruction or a gear adjustment instruction to the electric fan, and after receiving the start instruction or the gear adjustment instruction sent by the server, the electric fan may be started according to the start instruction, or the gear of the electric fan may be adjusted to a target gear according to the gear adjustment instruction, and the electric fan may be rotated according to a rotation speed corresponding to the target gear, so that the server controls the electric fan; the server can send a closing instruction or a mode adjusting instruction to the air conditioner, after the air conditioner receives the closing instruction or the mode adjusting instruction sent by the server, the air conditioner can be closed according to the closing instruction, or the state of the air conditioner is adjusted to a target mode according to the mode adjusting instruction, and the server controls the air conditioner.

It should be noted that the server may also send information including the physiological state to the multiple target home devices, so that the multiple target home devices acquire the operation instruction corresponding to the physiological state and operate according to the operation instruction. The server sends the information of the physiological state of the user to the electric fan and the air conditioner, and after the electric fan and the air conditioner receive the information containing the physiological state sent by the server, the electric fan and the air conditioner can obtain an operation instruction corresponding to the electric fan and the air conditioner according to the physiological state in the information and operate according to the operation instruction. The process of acquiring the operation instruction corresponding to the fan and the air conditioner according to the physiological state and operating according to the operation instruction may refer to step 303 in the embodiment shown in fig. 3-1, which is not described herein again.
